FAQPage Schema
How do I use Laravel backed enums for type-safe status values?▼

Laravel backed enums allow you to define type-safe, finite sets of values using string or int backing. You can encapsulate business logic and labels within the enum itself for cleaner status management.

How do I cast Laravel model attributes to enums for validation?▼

You can cast Laravel model attributes to enums by integrating them directly into your models and DTOs. This enables automatic type casting and allows you to use the enums for validation rules in forms.

What's the best way to implement business logic within Laravel enums?▼

Implementing business logic within Laravel enums involves adding methods and traits directly to the enum class. This encapsulates behavior and UI attributes alongside the finite set of values.

Can I use Laravel enums in queue jobs for managing processing states?▼

Yes, Laravel enums can be used in queues for managing job processing states. This leverages type safety to ensure only valid finite states are passed through your queue workflows.

Does Laravel enum type safety require a specific PHP environment?▼

Laravel enum type safety requires the Laravel framework and a compatible PHP environment. This setup supports backed enums, match expressions, and integration with Laravel models and DTOs.
